BACKGROUND:While not directly related to the Cleft family, Bristles can be thought of as a sort of "Super-Clefts". It's possible they evolved their long-range hammerman-smiting spikes by watching Clefts get creamed by adventurers wearing Power Smash or Piercing Blow badges. Bristles are generally territorial, only attacking those who invade their space.
